Sennheiser MX550 Headphones: Heading your way!

If you have never heard of Sennheiser before, then that must've been an awfully big rock that you've been hiding under for the past, say, 50 years! Sennheiser are only one of the world's most prestigious names in headphones - the Orpheus and Baby Orpheus electrostatic headphones will go down in history as the finest (and most expensive) headphones ever produced. How much you say? Well, maybe if you had US$30,000! Second-hand too!

Well, if you think that's just a touch too extravagant, the Sennheiser MX550 Headphones are $29,960.05 cheaper but I wouldn't say they're 750 times worse either...

There's just something about Sennheiser headphones - their quality - although it's pretty cheap, the MX550 gives a sound that rivals that of other headphones costing twice as much! I've got myself a pair and although not in a white colour to match my iPod, they're certainly much clearer and the improvement is definitely noticeable. The in-line volume control is quite handy as well. Although I may whine about the colour, in a way it's a good thing, as I'm less of a target for thieves who are on the lookout for the tell-tale white earbuds that come standard with the iPod. They've definitely replaced my stock iPod earbuds. What other recommendation do you need?
